Experiencing bouts of volatility, the Indian benchmarks closed in the green on May 6, following gains in other Asian markets.

The Nifty, which failed to hold on to the crucial 9,300 level, bounced back after hitting an intraday low of 9,116 to end above 9,250. The Sensex also witnessed an intraday swing of more than 800 points.

The Sensex closed the day with a gain of 232 points, or 0.74 percent, at 31,685.75 and the Nifty settled 65 points, or 0.71 percent, higher at 9,270.90.

"We feel it is just a breather after the recent slide and the bias would remain on the negative side till Nifty trades below 9,700 zone. On the downside, we are eyeing 8,900-9,000 zone to be tested shortly. Traders should focus more on position management as we are seeing erratic swings across the board," said Ajit Mishra, VP - Research, Religare Broking.
